Sick Of All The Weeds Post-Rain? Get Artificial Turf


Sick Of All The Weeds Post-Rain? Get Artificial Turf http://www.heavenlygreens.com/blog/sick-of-all-the-weeds-post-rain-get-artificial-turf @heavenlygreensIf you’ve been watching the news recently – or you’ve taken a trip southward into the deserts of SoCal – you’ve seen the stunning sweeps of wildflowers that cover the hills with color, seemingly overnight. It’s a special visual treat, brought on by all that rain.

 

Unfortunately, here on the home front, all that rain has brought an equally abundant crop of weeds. No one wants to complain about the rain – we certainly needed it – but now your struggling lawn has even more to contend with. Those weeds are greedy. They can out-compete your grass for water and nutrients in the soil. Your yard will look even more under the weather than during the drought.

 

Of course, you could take the lemons-to-lemonade approach and turn those weedy newcomers into something productive. Encourage that rambunctious crop of dandelions, harvest them, and make wine! OK, maybe not. It was just a thought.

 

If you had artificial turf, you wouldn’t have such a problem

Top-quality synthetic grass, installed by experienced professionals, looks lush and lovely 365 days a year without inviting problems. No bare spots or dead patches that look ugly, form puddles, and generate mud that inevitably makes its way into the house on your family’s feet and paws. Instead, drainage is always excellent, no matter how rainy it gets.

 

Bare spots make it easy for weeds to gain a foothold, too. Of course, even with artificial turf, the occasional unwanted seed can make a landing and start to grow. But would you rather pull the random weedling or have to mount an all-out assault on your entire lawn to keep weeds at bay?

 

You wouldn’t have an endless succession of maintenance tasks, either

You can say goodbye to your mower, along with all your other lawn maintenance equipment. You can say goodbye to the expense of using and maintaining these tools as well as the time you have to devote to tending your lawn throughout the year.

 

Artificial grass requires no potentially harmful chemicals. No fertilizer. No insecticides or fungicides. That means the rain water that drains away is free of toxins that would otherwise enter the soil, the aquifer, streams, and the Bay.

 

And if it stops raining, you’ll never have to water your fake grass.

 

Artificial turf is a smart problem-solver

With that one decision to replace your natural grass with faux, you can sweep away all manner of problems and annoyances. Don’t you wish solving other problems could be that simple?

 

Synthetic grass has other advantages, too. While you’re wisely deciding to jettison your natural grass and all its related negatives, you could also decide to change things up around your yard. Lawn adds immeasurably to your home’s visual appeal, and there are endless games and other lawn-based activities you and your family can enjoy.

 

But now that you’ll have more time (thanks to eliminating lawn maintenance), you can expand your horizons when it comes to having fun. You could perfect your outdoor grilling skills. And just think how great it might be to install a bocce ball court in your backyard. The whole family can play bocce, and your guests will want to play, too.

 

Or why not consider a custom-designed backyard putting green? There’s a type of synthetic turf with the play characteristics you want most, whether you’re a casual golfer or a close game fanatic. And where bocce courts are flat, your chipping and/or putting green can fit whatever terrain you have. You can create more slope, add sand traps, a tee, apron, and fringe. Gorgeous – and practical, too.

 

Hmmmmm. Synthetic turf is really starting to grow on you, isn’t it?
